I
really had to paint some ordinary minis to be able to survive another large batch of
Conan-figures. A quick rummage in the plastics mountain and I had two suitable
and rather big figures.

The
Dungeon Troll is sculpted by Andy Foster of Heresy Miniatures and is a fantastic
mini. My absolute favourite of the two.

He
(yes, it is a ‘he’ – look under the loincloth…) is a 3-part model that needed
no cleaning as I couldn’t find any mould-lines! More than unusual in a
model this size. I used some green stuff in the gaps between arms and body, but
that was it.

A fearsome opponent if you're 28mm tall.

Take
advantage of the weak £ and pop over to Andy’s store and get yourself one (or
any other mini, for that matter).

This
Troll, sculpted by Jason Wiebe, comes from Reaper and their Bones range (you can also
get it in metal for four times the price).

It’s
a decent sculpt that needed just a little cleaning of mould-lines, but a bit… cartoony. Not really in my taste, but it was easy to
paint and could probably smash an adventurer or two.

Finally
a cultist from Reaper Bones, you can never have enough cultists… A fast
paintjob to have him ready for action.

This
looks really good and if you need rooms and corridors for your games of
Infinity, Traveller or whatnot, then it is a kickstarter to check out.

A very cool thing in this campaign is that the higher pledges give you an opportunity to design your own tiles together with Ben. Certainly very interesting and I must say the price is very competitive.

The
campaign is on its third day and is currently well into stretch-goal territory.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
